You're just lucky I didn't say "Weed" dandelion!
What I think is inconsequential....Majik obviously was better, in fact, they are sending my boys home with their tails between thier legs......down by 10? I say they should swim home
*sings....Stand by your man........*

I did also read that majik stated they were having a slow beginning. Can't wait to see the scores when they are up to whatever speed they call normal!!!

9 out of the 10 points gap between Majik and Vertical happened on rounds 9 and 10... and from this 9 points, 6 were due to busts:

Round 9: a 21 brought to a 19;
Round 10: a 25 brought to a 21.

I'm pointing this out because during the first 8 rounds, the competition between both teams was balanced, with both alternating on the lead and... suddenly a 1 point gap rose to a 10 point in 2 rounds... is this normal?

Does anybody know if those busts (that really occurred but are not very common on them), associated to a lower performance than usual on Airspeed side, are related to which factor(s)?

Blue Skies!

I wouldnt even care to speculate. It was said however that coming out of round 8 Craig Girard fell ill....I have no comment on that either becaue I just don't know "just the facts m'am".
I will point out however, that this is the 2nd time Majik has won the day.

well, IMO, Airspeed's mentaly not ready to have someone challenge them like majik does. busts (and not busting) are very mental, and if you're not calm it's going to happen. I think that majik has gottne in their heads. I wouldn't be surprised to see them (airspeed) take bronze behind majik and the knights this year.
